Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin

[arnie.k]

If you believe, just believe. i can't prove the world existed a single day before i was born. i believe the universe is a few billion years old, because some people i trust say so. if you trust The Book, who's to say you're wrong?

++. But for some like Palin, this is not sufficient.

yea. i know. i'm glad i don't live in the US (even if i do have to stay up till 5 am to catch west-coast baseball games sometimes).

I hope my stance is clear on this subject, and I hope as well that I have not offended anyone. I want to make it clear that this is an issue about what to teach in the Science class, and nothing to do with faith or religion or anything else. It's not a "you are wrong, science is right" debate but a "science is science, and other stuff isn't" debate.

I will take to task any candidate that disagrees with me, and likewise I hope that I have discussed my opinion on the candidates stance on an issue rather on items that have no relevance on the candidate (the situation with her daughter etc...). That's not my game, I'll take you to the mat and try to beat you senseless over issues but won't get into that nonsense.

I have heard before that a good portion of the book of Genesis is not intended to be taken literally. But rather as a series of parables. Portions of the creation story, Cain and Abel, tower of Babel, Methuzela living to be like 900 years old, Noah's ark, etc.

But there are also many who believe that everything in the bible is 100% true and accurate.

But what about girls who were born in a boys body?

True and accurate to their interpretation.

Just like everything else, there are many different ways to interpret what you read in the Bible.

Isn't that what I said? they "believe" everything in the bible - hence in their own interpretation?
